Presents? For me? Wow you should have! As if I need an
excuse to shop for makeup for myself!
Let’s take a peek shall we?
I bought three things during the Victoria Day weekend from
Sephora.com. That weekend Ebates had a 15% cash, so I couldn’t resist. I haven’t
bought of Sephora.com since late January.
Mid-February, Sephora.com started charging extra duty to Canadians on top of the high price we already pay. I was not very happy and haven’t bought anything online since. It’s a real shame because you get some many nice perks from shopping online such as, a number of promos and samples to choose from. (My local Sephora doesn’t know the meaning of the word “samples”…)
I only started shopping online last October and it has unfortunately come to a screeching halt…
However, with this special Ebates cash back special of 15%,
I couldn’t resist. I still had my VIB
10% code so I used that as promo code and saved even more.
The first thing I bought was:
Yes, I know I said I don’t really like the YSL Rouge Volupte
Shine lipsticks, but this is one that I have been eyeing for awhile. My local
Sephora doesn’t even have this one in stock so I quickly ordered it. I think
this will be the last YSL Rouge Volupte that I buy. The rest of the colours, I
already have a similar shade in my collection. However this shade, I have
NOTHING like it!
I got it in the colour “Fuchsia in Rage”. It looks a lot like the Pantone Colour of the Year "Radiant Orchid". It’s very vibrant
purplish colour. A little bold and scary for day ware but perfect for night. I
still haven’t worn in out yet. It’s very creamy like all Rouge Volupte Shines
but I find that this one doesn’t move around on my lips as much as the other
two I have. Weird. I’m going to have to test out the other two again. However,
for the moment I am happy with the three I have.

They look so perfect in my
lipstick holder. *sigh*
The next thing I got:
 |
| Dipbrow in Dark Brown |
After
hearing all the hype, I had to try it out. I actually wanted to buy this during
VIB Chic Week sale but my Sephora was all out of them except in Ebony. I tried
Ebony and it looked too harsh on my brows.
Anyways,
I ordered it and I have been loving it. I naturally have thick brows but I have
a few sparse areas. This brow pomade is perfect for cleaning and filling them
out. Believe the hype!
Finally I got one of the Buxom lipglosses in my namesake. I’m
pretty sure all you beauty lovers heard that Buxom recently released 100 new
lipglosses with different girls names. Turns out one of the names happened to
be my name. When fate hits you like that, can you resist? Nope.
When I was younger, I had such a hard time finding things such as mirrors, bookmarks, combs etc. with my name on it. I used to whine to my mom how I’m going to change my name because I hate it.
I love it now and I’m even more pleased that I can now find things with my name on it! :D
It comes with the typical doe foot applicator.
The colour is a beautiful peachy beige nude. It’s a perfect
nude for my deep pigmented lips. Many nudes make me look very scary, sick and
dead! It's taken a lot of trial and error to find the perfect nudes for me. This one luckily was perfect for me. Couldn’t ask for a better nude from
my namesake! ;) I really love Buxom's lipglosses. I seriously can't think of a more perfect gloss. Their packaging is sleek, they're non-sticky and they feel so light on your lips. Also you can't forget the nice tingling on your lips. Hope you can all find your namesakes in the Buxom glosses and they are flattering for your skintone.

And to complete my order I
got a four samples instead of the usual three! (Can’t say no to extra samples!)
My samples consisted of:
- Makeup Forever HD Primer
- Marc Jacobs Daisy
- Desigual Sex
-
Bvlgari Omnia Indian Garnet
Well, that’s all for now everyone. See you soon!
Peace. Love and Beauty! xoxox <3
